As well as not supporting modern features and web standards, old versions of browsers - especially Internet Explorer - can expose your computer to security risks. The Browse Happy website has a list of the latest versions of all major browsers, including Internet Explorer (but remember Windows XP only supports up to IE8!)

If updating/changing your browser is not possible, do not panic - all of the LAS website is still available to you and we are working to make the layout compatible with outdated browsers.

Possible disruption at Pex Hill -
We have been informed that the landowner plans to undertake significant work which may result
in large portions of the car-park being closed off. If you are planning on visiting the observatory,
please keep an eye on our Twitter account for updates (you don't need to have Twitter yourself to view it).
The latest information as of Friday 21st September is that the on-going work will continue into 2019 and will mean restricted access and parking. We intend to continue with the meetings on Wednesday evenings as long as it is safe to do so.
Anybody that visits MUST park safely and allow the access of emergency services at all times.
